Currently in the middle of a finely balanced 1v1 10 wickets match...
the area behind the bowling mark isn't long enough for my normal pace deliveries so i'm constricted to bowling off spin(which i bowl around the wicket)...the opponent is bowling medium pace leg spinners...
After winning the toss and choosing to bowl first, i clean bowled my opponent on the third ball but sportingly allowed him to stay in. 8 runs were scored in two fours before bowling him out again (8/1-0/0)
I managed a quite frankly poor 6 runs off three balls after i put the ball into the hedge where it was never found, making me out. (8v1-6v1)
I then managed to bowl my opponent out again after he made 14 runs. (22v2-6v1)
Facing my first ball, a ball came down about 2 foot down legside and fairly short which i promptly missed and watched in horror and it rolled onto the stumps. (22v2-6v2)
I then managed to bowl a great slider that bowled him out first ball in return. (22v3-6v2)
------------------
Without describing every wicket...the match was finely poised at 64/5 and 68/5 when my opponent managed to hit 80 runs in one go to go sailing into the lead at 144/6.
I made a brief comeback of about 15 runs before falling caught and bowled to the short one asking to be hit. Another stupid dismissal came when i hit a rubbish ball into a neighbour's garden.
More runs were added to take the score to 180/9 whereas i was still down at 98/8.
Currently-when bad light stopped play i have managed to get the score up to 138/8 with my first real good knock of the game. Tomorrow should create a result in this close contest.
